Originally published as Suddenly as a Shadow.

Wild, windswept Ravenstone Fell has a secret.

It was once an ancient burial ground. Now, the developers have it in their sights — to the outrage of every local archaeologist.

Professor Cate Nicholas is on a mission to scupper the developers’ plans. She even goes on live TV to badmouth them.

As usual, Arnold is sent in to keep the peace. But it’s too late for that.

Cate’s car is pushed into the river. And she is certain she’s being followed.

Rattled, Cate retreats to her country cottage. The place is miles from anywhere and it’s always been her safe haven.

Until now?

As the row over Ravenstone intensifies, is Cate about to pay the ultimate price?

Fans of Elly Griffiths, Peter James, P.D. James, Damien Boyd, Helen H. Durrant, J.D. Kirk, Bill Kitson and Peter Robinson will devour this intriguing mystery.
